  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

Additionally, the leaves are used for traditional remedies and folk customs, such as for weddings and housewarming ceremonies. More recently, the aromatic oil industry has used the leaves for oil distillation. Moreover, the oils are used in several household products. Over the past 12 years of our research on Piper species, we found that among the more than 43 species recorded, there are some plants other than P. betle that possess a betel-like scent, viz. P. betloides, P. crocatum, P. maculaphyllum, P. rubroglandulosum, P. semiimmersum, P. submultinerve, P. tricolor, and P. yinkiangense. As it was expected that these plants would contain similar useful chemicals, their extracts were screened for the chemical contents by GC-MS.

Cashmore, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, May 5, 2006 (received for review March 31, 2006) Phenylpropenes such as chavicol, t-anol, eugenol, and isoeugenol are produced by plants as defense compounds against animals and microorganisms and as floral attractants of pollinators. Moreover, humans have used phenylpropenes since antiquity for food pres- ervation and flavoring and as medicinal agents. Previous research suggested that the phenylpropenes are synthesized in plants from substituted phenylpropenols, although the identity of the en- zymes and the nature of the reaction mechanism involved in this transformation have remained obscure. We show here that glan- dular trichomes of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), which synthe- size and accumulate phenylpropenes, possess an enzyme that can use coniferyl acetate and NADPH to form eugenol.

Plants with variable biological activities have been explored worldwide. The presence of a large number of phenols, terpenes and other aromatic compounds make essential oils more precise in their mode of action. Because of this, they are known to possess many biological activities like antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory etc. In this article, we will review the published literature summarizing the chemistry of essential oils and their important biological activities.

The aim of this work was to investigate the chemical composition and mutagenicity of the O. selloi essential oils native from the South of Brazil. The essential oil designated as chemotype A showed a total of 10 components, which constitute more than 99% of the volatile fraction. The major chemicals were methyl chavicol or estragole (46.33%), trans-anethole (31.20%) and germacrene D (6.37%). The chemo- type of O. selloi called sample B was constituted by only 4 detected components as the most abundant com- pounds, with more than 99% of the composition of the essential oil characterized. The major constituents were methyl eugenol (45.17%), trans-caryophyllene (43.52%) and isoaromadendrene (4.83%). The results obtained in the in vivo evaluation of mutagenicity indicated that none of chemotype studied presents muta- genic activity.

  • Major Secondary Metabolites and Their Biosynthesis in Selected Ocimum Sp
    Major Secondary Metabolites and Their Biosynthesis in Selected Ocimum sp Thesis submitted to the SPPU For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biotechnology by Atul Anand Research Supervisor Dr. A.P. Giri Research Co-Supervisor Dr. H.V. Thulasiram Biochemical Sciences Division CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Pune 411008 India November 2016 Thesis abstract Ocimum species present a wide array of diverse secondary metabolites possessing immense medicinal and economic value. The importance of this genus is undisputable and exemplified in the ancient science of Chinese and Indian (Ayurveda) traditional medicine. Unlike several other plant species of Artemisia, Salvia, Catharanthus, Taxus, Mentha, etc. that are largely exploited, detailed characterization and identification of important metabolites from Ocimum species remained unexplored. This work describes the phenylpropanoid profiling in different tissues from five Ocimum species, which revealed significant variations in secondary metabolites including eugenol, eugenol methyl ether, estragole and methyl cinnamate levels. Expression analysis of pathway gene indicated the abundance of eugenol synthase gene in species accumulating more eugenol. Kinetic parameters and in silico proved coniferyl acetate to be the preferred substrate. Metabolite diversity of terpenoids was also studied in different tissues of Ocimum species and variations in accumulation pattern in relation to species and class of metabolite was observed. Further, β-caryophyllene synthase gene from Ocimum kilimandscharicum Gürke (OkBCS- GenBank accession no. KP226502) was characterized. The open reading frame of 1,629 bp encoded a protein of 542 amino acids with molecular mass of 63.6kDa and pI value of 5.66. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed 50-70% similarity with known sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms.

Email: [email protected] Received: 31 Mar 2016 Revised and Accepted: 21 Jun 2016 ABSTRACT Essential oils are complex mixtures of biological active substances used for fragrance and traditional medicine since long back. It contains mainly triterpenes and aromatic compounds, the chemical composition of the essential oils vary with seasonal, geographical and climatic conditions. Recently there are more researches focused on their chemical profiles and its medicinal properties. Due to their antimicrobial, antifungal, insecticidal, larvicidal and antioxidant properties, they are used as alternatives for synthetic chemical products to reduce cost and side effects.
